gnome-terminal profile without bash history

I'm trying to create a profile in gnome-terminal that doesn't store bash history.

The easiest way to do that is to run export HISTIGNORE="*", but there is one problem, gome-terminal is executing command before running bash, so this variable is being overwritten.

I was thinking about using .profile or .bashrc, but I don't want it to execute every time bash starts and I don't know how to determine which profile is being used by gnome-terminal from within terminal.

Have you tried using env to run the shell in a custom environment e.g. /usr/bin/env HISTIGNORE='*' /bin/bash from the gnome-terminal Title and Command tab?

gnome-terminal custom command

This seems to work for me - although I can't help feeling there's a more efficient way that doesn't involve testing each command against the wildcard.
